Background:
The number of people who get tumors of the brain or central nervous system (CNS) is lower than other cancers. But these tumors cause a higher rate of serious effects and even death. Researchers want to test existing samples of tissue from these tumors to learn more about them. This may lead to better treatment.
Objective:
To study stored samples of CNS tumors to learn more about the tumors and explore new ways to diagnose them.
Eligibility:
The study will use tissue samples already collected at NIH from people with brain or CNS tumors.
Design:
The participants will have given their consent in a previous study.
Researchers will review the tissue samples and any data collected about them.
Researchers will do lab tests and scans on the samples.
All data will be kept secure.
